Luxury Movie Theaters Come to America

Now you don't have to put up with sticky floors, crappy food, obnoxiously loud thatergoers, large crowds, and broken seats to catch the latest flick. Luxury cinemas are coming, and they seem to be well worth the price of admission.

Australian Cinema Group Village Roadshow is planning to open 50 Luxury cinema locations accross the United States in the next five years. The first of these upscale cinemas is slated to open in fourth quarter of this year in South Barrington, Illinois shortly followed by another one in Redmond, Washington.

Targeting an upscale and affluent consumer, these Gold Class Cinemas will offer a maximum of 40 unique luxury reclining arm chair seats and the latest state-of-the-art technology with digital projection, including 3-D, as well as super-wide screens and digital sound, delivering a stunning movie-going experience. Guests of the theater will enjoy fine wines and gourmet cuisine from the seasonal menu prepared by chefs in the Gold Class kitchen while watching their movie. A personal waiter is just a push of a button away for guests that require a little extra attention.

A contemporary bar area will also be incorporated into the theatres, where guests can relax and enjoy a cocktail or light desert prior to or after their show. Additional services available at this luxe cinema: A VIP concierge, valet service, and an online booking feature where guests can select their own seats.

All this luxury comes at a cost. The average estimated ticket price at Gold Class Cinemas will be around $35. Hear the Universe of Luxury Podcast for more cool topics like this.
